I’m not sure my iPod’s going to get played today (day off work, woohoo!), and I’m hoping to do some iTunes shopping this weekend and update my playlist, so these ten songs may never actually be played in this order. But anyway:
“(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding,” Elvis Costello, 200 Cigarettes (movie soundtrack)
“When You Were Young,” The Killers, Sam’s Town
“Dear God,” XTC, Skylarking
“Antichrist Television Blues,” Arcade Fire, Neon Bible
“You Won’t See Me,” The Beatles, Rubber Soul
“For You,” Bruce Springsteen, Greetings From Asbury Park, New Jersey
“Up the Junction,” Squeeze, Greatest Hits
“Section 12: Hold Me Now,” The Polyphonic Spree, Together We’re Heavy
“Rehab,” Amy Winehouse, Back to Black
“Pulling Mussels (From a Shell),” Squeeze, Greatest Hits
Aside from the questionable “randomness” of two Squeeze songs showing up so close together, I like this lineup. I think I’ll make sure I get to hear it after all before I do that update.
